That's racist!

It would be good to hear what he said right before and after what was in that clip. It sounded like he was saying they needed different skill sets to make things work.
I’m sure it was something along the lines of diversity of viewpoint/skillset/experience is the only way to ensure mission success.

Throwing in the “white” qualifier was just playing to the crowd.

If you want to say that assembling a team that are all…
- the same approximate age
- graduates of Annapolis
- former Navy test pilots
…May not create the most well-rounded group, then that’s fine. The racial bit was unnecessary.
 
Suicidal empathy IS a thing and I have seen it for decades....not every where but definitely too much

The sweet 22 yr old female social worker straight out of college trying to help the poor misunderstood homeless psychotic rapist who lets down her guard and gets assaulted by him and seriously injured

I have empathy for all sorts of people, but the stark reality of how some people are doesn't mean you treat them with kid gloves either..

When you constantly fall for fraud, tricks, and sad stories time and again only to disregard motives and real consequences you are "empathic" to a fault and a risk to yourself and others

Some people are genuinely broken, some are genuinely evil, and some you will never ever help

The greatest evidence for this abroad is importing Muslim "refugees" which are overwhelmingly military aged males...who are going to absolutely destroy and conquer all the EU countries from within. Suicidal empathy. It will be the end of the West if left unchecked.

At home, its the Democrat DAs, judges, and magistrates that drop charges, refuse to prosecute, release violent criminals back into society early or pretrial without posting bail etc. Thats actually "homicidal empathy" though. Its not them getting beaten, robbed, raped, and nearly beheaded on trains. Its the other citizens who pay the price for the garbage Democrats doing their stupid crap. Then theres the actual "suicidal empathy" of these brilliant Leftist asshats like "Queers for Palestine". Guess what those muslims will do with you queers the moment they have the power to? Kill you of course. Or rape and then kill you...God knows muslims love to rape boys and young men. Our government had to brief our soldiers in Afghanistan so they could understand the rampant boy rape. Muslims will throw gays from rooftops or stone them to death in public in some Muslim countries under Sharia law. Gay folks supporting Islam is the definition of "suicidal empathy".
 
Suicide does require intent, at least in every definition I've seen. Two drunk guys racing where one slips, falls on his head and dies isn't suicide. If there's no distinction between misjudgment and "suicidal empathy," then it's a useless and unnecessarily charged phrase.

What is the group we are "suicidally empathetic" toward? Homeless people? That sounds pretty evil. Rapists? Who is "empathetic" toward rapists based on their rapist tendencies? The idea that because one homeless person turned out to be a rapist, that means empathy for homeless people is "suicidal," seems so deeply evil to me. It's an excuse to write off whole groups of people by saying "look, one of them committed a crime"
the intent is/can be in the act itself, without the inherent end goal of death. someone messing around with a loaded gun pulls the trigger while pointing it at themselves. they committed suicide, regardless of knowing the gun was loaded or that it was pointed at themselves. you make the decision to drink something without knowing its harmful, and die, you committed suicide.

a misjudgment could just be an honest mistake. or maybe it involves a personal experience, they look like someone she knew and trusted. suicidal empathy in this regard is purposefully lowering your guard/not sticking to the process in order to be more equal/human/empathetic as the end goal, not because there is something inherently to be more empathetic about.

I don't think recognizing suicidal empathy towards homeless people is evil at all. again it goes back to basic survival.
if it, in this case a person, is unknown, you shouldn't trust them period. no evil there at all, that is just pure basic survival.
if that person gives a reason to be on guard, homeless aren't always well balanced. she should have at least addressed it from that standpoint, gotten to know the individual, and then lowered her guard if appropriate. it isn't evil to be wary about something you know can be unstable until you get a chance to review it.
if there is some type of training or warning given, you shouldn't trust them. at least as the first default reaction. nothing evil in relying on training, its there for a reason, usually painful experience; and if given a warning its common sense to listen at first.

I don't know about ricky's particular, but back when I volunteered I saw way too much of that suicidal empathy, we called it "too close too fast". never had a case of rape, that I knew about, but definitely had to physically separate and restrain multiple people we were helping because a naive helper got "too close too fast". saw multiple homeless get kicked out of the program because of it, while a more steady and untrusting approach was working with those same individuals.
 

That video's not the best evidence of this. First of all she doesn't look like she's all there mentally. The interviewer is asking leading questions and her answers are brief

That's not to say that the jury didn't do exactly that. The fact that they thought acquitting him would result in a win for their team is nutty thinking. OJ hung with the white community. He wasn't on team black
